Skip StopBizTalk target

Is there a way to completely skip the StopBizTalk step? I have a couple of applications that are just bindings, no dlls, so the host instances don't really need to be stopped. If the StopBizTalk step could be skipped it would give more flexibility in when
production deployments could occur.

I tried <SkipHostInstancesRestart>True</SkipHostInstancesRestart> and it looks like that skips the "BounceBizTalk" target, leaving everything stopped.
